REVIEW: 2NDESIGN First Cleansing Oil Pure & Fresh

"No matter what skin you were born with, we can design a better skin for you."一2NDESIGN

The brand name 2NDESIGN is quite unique. Their products are all in black and white, there are no other colors (except lip balm). The packaging design is also very simple and minimalist. I was sent three products for review purpose, and I want to review the first Pure & Fresh Cleansing Oil first. Next week, I will update this post again to add review of First Lip Balm and Springy Peeling Gel.

Disclaimer: Products are provided by 2NDESIGN Korea for review purpose. However all opinion based on my experience and were not influenced by the brand.

The cleansing oil has two variants, Black and White. I got the Black version. I don't know what their other difference is, it seems like they only differ in the color of pump dispenser. No difference in ingredients, per se. I like how they use pump dispenser, so it is more practical to use at home. Even though there is a pump clip, it is not travel friendly because I've tried roll over the bottle and there's oil seeping.

The bottle itself is plain clear plastic, so the remaining contents are visible. The contents of the product are 200ml, quite a lot compared to my other cleansing oils. The ingredients used are Green grade EWG material. The base of this cleansing oil is sunflower oil and isopropyl palmitate.

The sunflower oil used is one that has oxidation stability that is 10 times better than other sunflower oils. Sunflower oil is also rich in oleic acid higher than olive oil and is suitable for dry skin. Normally I would avoid isopropyl palmitate in leave-on product, but because this would be rinsed so it's okay.

Then there are also other oils like jojoba, macadamia nut, rosehip, grapeseed, evening primrose, etc. Jojoba oil is known to have a chemical structure similar to natural sebum, this oil will penetrate into the pores and dissolve blackheads. In addition, it also contains geranium and bergamot essential oil as natural fragrance. Thought, I don't smell any rose nor citrusy aroma.

First Cleansing Oil Pure & Fresh texture is very runny like water, with a hint of yellowish color and a faint scent of oil. When the massage to the skin is really good. Slippery and not tight. The instructions is to use 3-4 pumps, but usually I only need one and half pump for whole face. Although it contains essential oils, this cleansing oil does not sting my eyes nor itchy and blurry. Oh, don't forget to use it on on dry skin, sometimes I'd forgot because it's my habit to wet my face first hahaha.

The cleansing performance of make-up is good, I don't need to tugging my skin hard for its to melt. What I like about it is, when rinsed with water, the oil emulsifies into a milky white liquid, leaving my skin very clean, soft without any residue left. The oil scent also doesn't stuck in my nails like my previous cleansing oil. Then, followed by second cleanser.

Well for now, there's nothing I can hate about this cleansing oil. It has become my March Favorites. Unfortunately, is still hard to find it in Indonesia. It can be bought at Jolse and RoseRoseShop with international shipping.
